Stuffed Dates

Some food, despite nice lighting and plating and expensive ingredients, can look rather questionable. This prosciutto-wrapped, stuffed dates look rather questionable. Kelley will probably flay/quarter/pare/mince me for writing this post, but I feel that I must recreate our kitchen conversation.

Kelley: Do you want to try a date?

Victoria: Oh heck no. No way. There's no way that can be good.

It's actually really sweet. And I'm stuffing it with mint and cheese.

-Begins to contemplate at the word sweet.-Have you made these before?

Remember that birthday party I hosted?For like 50 people during spring semester.I served these and they were themost popular appetizer by far.They were gone soooo quickly.

I don't know Kelley....They look questionable...

They look like little poops.Bacon wrapped poops.

Nooo!How could you say that?No they don't...

Well maybe a little.Okay so they probably won't photographall too well. But they taste delicious!

It's okay. I bet this lens can make even little edible poops look good.

If anything, I hope you find that recreated conversation humorous, and that you give the stuffed poops dates a real try. Do not let my own food insecurities dissuade you. Plus, the pictures really do make them look nice, appetizing, and pop-able. As far as taste, the rumor is: sweet.
